His wife quickly responded to the caption, commenting, "Hold up!!! You never changed any diapers!!!!"

Earlier this year, Melissa spoke to PEOPLE about her daughter's plans to attend college.

"She needs to know what it's like to wash her own clothes and buy her own detergent. I just think she needs that," she continued, noting she feels her daughter is "very sheltered."

She continued, "I do everything for her. It's good for her to be independent and learn who she is, so I'm excited for her. It's going to be a huge change not to have her bossing us around this house like she does, but I think it's going to be great for her."
